I grew up in Davis, CA and attended Harvard University for my undergraduate degree where I concentrated in Human Evolutionary Biology with a secondary in Global Health and Health Policy. I am currently a 3rd year medical student at UCSF. I am very passionate about dermatology, and completed a Master of Science degree, where I researched the barriers to care faced by patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), which is a dermatological disease that disproportionately affects women and African Americans. My other research interests include topics at the intersection of dermatology and health disparities and increasing diversity in medicine. I co-founded a mentorship program for undergraduate students who come from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine. I started Celebrating the Skin We’re In because as a Black woman who is interested in dermatology, I was acutely aware of the racial disparities that affect the field.

Hello everyone! :) I'm currently attending a post-baccalaureate program at SFSU and getting ready to apply to medical school in the following cycle. I currently work as a medical assistant for Pacific Skin & Cosmetic Dermatology and am fascinated with skin manifestations amongst POC.

Something I use daily: Tretinoin!!! My holy grail product (and SPF of course)

I’m a senior studying Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. One of my passions is assisting those who are underserved. That is why I am doing a College Corps fellowship where I get to work at an historically black high school, McClymonds, where I have the incredible opportunity to work directly with Black girls, providing mentorship and tutoring. I'm also passionate about mental health and currently working on mindfulness research at UCSF. Therefore, I have a wide range of interests, but they all stem from a desire to increase access to treatment and give back to a community that has historically been neglected by medicine. That is why I am interested in racial disparities in dermatology and hope to inform students from underserved communities on dermatologic skin health disparities.
